Embodiment
Below embodiments of the invention are elaborated, present embodiment is being to implement under the prerequisite with the technical solution of the present invention, provided detailed embodiment and concrete operating process, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited to following embodiment.
The cell section that present embodiment adopts derives from the thymic tissue section, and concrete whole implementation process may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 1:
1, makes up the multi-scale image data relationship: original image grid linearity is divided into subimage.The standard of cutting apart is mainly considered the size of image and the processing power of computing machine, for the ease of calculating, adopts the integral multiple of original image as far as possible.Present embodiment embodiment adopts each subimage block 2000x2000 pixel to divide original image.Each subimage block and each subimage block under the different resolution yardstick have just had the data message that is in the original image ranks separately.The subimage block in the original image upper left corner is designated as (1,1), then other subimage block correspondingly be designated as (x, y).Wherein x is the position of the row at subimage block place, and y is the position of the row at subimage block place.
The total pixel of subimage block number=original image/(the capable pixel X of subimage block subimage block row pixel) (1)
2, the peripheral information of subimage block is duplicated.According to the relation between each subimage block of setting up, obtain single subimage block other subimage block information of 3x3 neighborhood on every side one by one, the position of promptly supposing this subimage block is (x, y), then obtain (x ± 1, y ± 1), the information of 8 field subimage blocks, and the image information of these neighborhoods copied in this subimage block, each subimage block just has the subimage information of expanding accordingly separately like this.The subimage block of expansion is carrying out just can not causing the error of resampling because original boundaries is discontinuous in down-sampling.
3, the subimage block that obtains is carried out to down-sampling.By resampling, adopt neighbour's interpolation (Nearest-neighborinterpolation), obtain the image of a low resolution.The downscaled images size in principle can be any, but mandatory foundation is to guarantee that the intensity profile of gray distribution of image and original image totally is consistent behind down-sampling.For the ease of calculating, will to the yardstick rounding of down-sampling the integral multiple of former figure size in addition.Present embodiment embodiment is with 400 times of original image minifications.As Fig. 2 result such as Fig. 3 behind down-sampling.
4, with the image behind the resampling, promptly cluster grade image is synthetic again according to the multi-scale image data relationship of original foundation, as Fig. 4.Because subimage is the subimage of the expansion after duplicating through the field, image after synthetic has again overcome the discontinuous problem in edge after image segmentation becomes subimage block.
5, the average clustering algorithm of K.The K average algorithm is accepted input quantity k; Then n data object is divided into k cluster so that make the cluster that is obtained satisfy: the object similarity in the same cluster is higher; And the object similarity in the different clusters is less.The cluster similarity is to utilize the average of object in each cluster to obtain " center object " (center of attraction) to calculate.The course of work of K average algorithm: at first select k object as initial cluster center arbitrarily from n data object; And, then, respectively they are distributed to (cluster centre representative) cluster the most similar to it according to the similarity (distance) of they and these cluster centres for other object of be left; And then calculate the cluster centre (average of all objects in this cluster) of each new cluster that obtains; Constantly repeat this process till the canonical measure function begins convergence.Generally all adopt mean square deviation as the canonical measure function.K cluster has following characteristics: each cluster itself is compact as much as possible, and separates as much as possible between each cluster.After the average clustering algorithm operation of K, the front and back scape of thymus section obtains good discrimination (as Fig. 5), and promptly whole thymic tissue is cut apart well.After removing the background noise, reduced the calculated amount of follow-up further fine segmentation.
6, according to cutting apart, obtain the cluster subimage block according to the image of the multi-scale image data relationship of setting up before after with cluster.
The subimage block number of cutting apart=
The total pixel of binary map after the cluster/(the capable pixel X of cluster subimage block cluster subimage block row pixel) (2)
7, image is synthetic, and the image after cutting apart according to the previous inverse of sampling rate downwards, is returned the binary map subimage block of the thymic tissue that is partitioned into after original size obtains cluster to up-sampling.As Fig. 6, be the contrast images of the two-value subimage block of thymic tissue after atom image block and the cluster segmentation.
The thymus section multi-scale image segmenting method of present embodiment utilizes digital image processing techniques to realize cutting apart of thymus section tissue.Utilize MATLAB, a kind of thymus section multi-scale image segmenting method is provided, make it solve personnel's fatigue and error problem that original identification brings, both solved the big problem of intensity that manual analysis causes, also improved the precision of tissue segmentation, can be used for the identification of thymic tissue, for diagnosis provides foundation.With one of present embodiment embodiment complete thymus section, size of data is the 542M byte, and view data is quite huge, and the computing machine that common sorting algorithm is applied to common arithmetic capability will cause internal memory to overflow.Adopt multi-scale image segmenting method, then significantly reduced the calculated amount of single step, overcome the problem that data are overflowed.By calculating, the sorted thymus section tissue image of acquisition accounts for 43.7% of original image, has promptly removed in the raw data 56.3% background noise information, thereby has reduced the calculated amount of further fine segmentation largely.
